A team of digital artists will bring ‘hidden moments of joy’ to the streets of Coventry this autumn after being selected for an innovative artist residency.

Ludic Rooms, based at Studio 20/21 at the Canal Basin, have been selected as Digital Artists in Residence for Coventry’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid.

They aim to encourage residents in the city to think of fun, innovative and digital methods to bring to life the way they travel around the city centre .

The project is primarily funded by the Coventry City of Culture Trust, with additional funding sourced from Arts Council England.

Ludic Rooms is hosting a series of workshops in the next few weeks, working with different community groups to imagine playful gadgets and gizmos that could make the experience of travelling through Coventry a bit more fun.

They will then select prototypes to display as part of a public exhibition in July this year, to be held in the new CET Building pop-up art space in the former Coventry Telegraph offices in the city centre.

The workshops hope to reach more than 300 people, across a broad spectrum of Coventry citizens, representative of different backgrounds, ages and cultures.
